BYU Enemy Scouting Report: Colorado Buffaloes

Game location: Folsom Field / Boulder, Co

Playing time / channel: 19:15 pt / 10: 3 p.m. he (ESPN)

History of the match: Colorado (8-4-1)

The cougars and buffs met on the grill 15 times. However, their only meeting since 1988 arrived last December in the Alamo Bowl. Byu Wallopé Buffs 36-14 in a very defensive effort. They resisted the quarter-back of the NFL Sheder Sanders. Colorado is surely to take revenge this time. The cougars won three games in a row in this series, dating back to 1981.

Head coach: Deion Sanders (third season)

This is the start of a new era for Colorado. While he was still under the vigilant eye of the Prime coach, the buffs replace the main contributors on both sides of the ball. Finished Sanders in the quarter-Arrière, as well as several receivers, including the double-meaning star of Heisman, Travis Hunter. This year, Colorado has played a game of musical chairs in the quarter-Arrière. Three different quarters attempted a pass during the first four games for the buffs. They opened the season by losing at home against Georgia Tech arriving. They beat Delaware and Wyoming at home with a defeat against Houston in their first Big 12 game sandwich between the two. This has been a matter from top to bottom so far, with a 2-2 file to show.

When Colorado has the ball

Despite the chaotic situation of QB, it seems that Kaidon Salter has obtained the starting head for the moment. He managed the team with 565 yards and four affected after being a productive signal appellant in Liberty. Colorado ranks 62nd in score with 27 points per game. They rank in the middle of the peloton for most of the statistics that pass. They rank 108th in precipitated attempts, which means that they prefer to ventilate it. Salter was quite precise, the ranking on the second row as a percentage of completion adjusted in the Big 12. The sincere Brown receiver had some explosive receptions, with an average of 29 yards per reception on seven catches.

Byu’s attack plan should be similar to that against the ECU. The cougars kept the ECU under their season average to pass. If the secondary, led by the Evan Johnson corner half, can do so again, Byu should win easily. The buffs have not shown that they can execute the ball consistently. The rush to the passes must arise. The Buffs offensive line has granted nine bags in four games, which ranks 106th.

Byu A La Défense No. 1 throughout the sport of university football at the moment. They also rank first on the yards per allowed game. Jay Hill’s defense is downright Elite. The buffs fought powerfully against him in the Alamo Bowl last season. It remains to be seen if they have an answer this time.

Although Byu was extremely effective in stopping the defense race, they were almost as effective for running the ball itself. They rank 11th in yards per race at 6.48. Meanwhile, Colorado ranks 99th in yards by authorized defense report. It seems that Byu must execute the ball. LJ Martin was one of the most productive runners in the Big 12. It is fourth among all the Power 4 to 8.6 yards by race. Byu must beat the rock. They also cannot afford to light up in the red zone as they have done so far this year too often.

Aaron Roderick should allow Bear Bachmeier to launch a little too. Especially when it means targeting the middle of the field with its tight tip, Carsen Ryan. It’s a big game for Bachmeier. This is his first start on the road in a Big 12 conference match. It will be a more difficult test than the ECU. Cougars should protect and settle it by imposing their will with the race game.

Colorado is bad against the race. Byu will win not only, but will win the game for the game if they can run the ball with a similar amount of efficiency they have in the first three games. Byu’s defense is Elite. Colorado has an experienced sports quarter that will test them. Byu was confronted with harder. As long as byu avoids major errors and self-inflicted injuries, they should manage business to boulder.

Prediction: byu 27, Colorado 17
